Our winter schedule is nearly full and we're fairly close to completing summer. We know winter is a busy time for dance studios. If you have been sent a contract for an upcoming master class, please get it back to us right away. We have some schools interested in dates who can't get on the schedule, so we will release the dates of any schools that do not get contracts back to us within two weeks of sending them. Thank you for your understanding.
